\n\tFKA Twigs <\/a>has been freed from an \u201cunlawful\u201d NDA that her ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf<\/a> tried to secretly enforce after claiming the singer violated the terms of their 2025 settlement agreement, according to court papers obtained by Rolling Stone. <\/p>\n \n\tIn court documents filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles on Tuesday,<\/em> the Grammy-winning singer, born Tahliah Barnett, notified the court that she\u2019d be withdrawing her March complaint against LaBeouf<\/a> after he agreed to terminate and void the NDA.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn a statement to Rolling Stone<\/em>, the singer\u2019s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, praised her bravery in fighting the agreement that would have barred her from speaking about her experience and her work with domestic violence groups. \u201cTwigs stood up for something larger than herself: female survivors of sexual abuse,\u201d Rosengart said. \u201cThis victory frees her to discuss her experience, advocate for other women who might be less privileged, and support the charitable causes of her choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tBarnett first sued LaBeouf in 2020, accusing him of sexual battery, assault, and mental abuse that played out over the course of their one-year relationship between 2018 and 2019. The two settled in July 2025, but months later LaBeouf allegedly tried to extract an \u201cexorbitant\u201d sum of money in a \u201csecret arbitration complaint\u201d over an interview Barnett gave to The Hollywood Reporte<\/a><\/em>r that October<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tResponding to a question about whether she felt \u201ca sense of safety\u201d by settling her lawsuit and putting the LaBeouf chapter behind her, Barnett answered candidly. \u201cNo, I wouldn\u2019t say I feel safe,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel really passionate about being involved with organizations such as Sistah Space and No More, to help survivors in any way that I can. I think it\u2019s less about me at this point and more about looking forward. Just, you know, moving on with my life.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLaBeouf then turned around and used that \u201claudable, generic, and benign\u201d statement to claim that Barnett had violated the settlement agreement\u2019s NDA provisions, Barnett\u2019s lawsuit claimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
